Well.... I did it... and i don't rub. I took it around some pretty nasty corners too. I didn't roll my fenders either, but i plan too. Im gonna post pics later of how close it is.

rotas(48 offset) usually rub with wide 225 on stock height. your choices are using higher offset wheels or rolling fenders (which imho is better in a long run allowing you to go for 17x8 and wider tires)
you may check this(spt wagon springs + sti bbs + re070s): http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=762685 Quote:

I didn't think non OE springs were still considered a Stock setup?

Alright, I've been reading this whole thread and I'll ask the rest of you since I can't find a simliar setup at this point.
I'll be running 17x7 BBS RK wheels (+48mm offset) on an 02 WRX wagon and I'm looking at either a set of used 225/45/17 RE070 or a new set of Hankook RS2 Z212 in the same size. As far as my suspension goes, I will be stock for the next two months, and then I'll be switching over to the SPT wagon specific springs and stock struts. The RE070 and the Z212 both have a 8.9 inch width, but I read an earlier post that mentioned a 7 inch wide rim will take about .2 inches off the section width. I really don't plan on running any wider as far as wheels or tires, so if I don't have to roll my fenders I'd rather not. Does anyone have any idea on whether or not this will rub? Thanks! |

So, I'm getting some 17x7 +48 wheels for my wagon on Prodrive springs.
I don't want to roll my fenders, will I have rubbing issues? |

Yeah, what I meant was should I go 215 or 225.
I've always run 215's, so I just ordered some more. |

the beauty of the Prodrive springs is the minimal drop in the rear, right where the wagon has fender rubbing problems. lots of people running 17x7.5 ET48 Rotas with 215/45x17 tires and the Prodrive springs - no problems at all. It's when you go up to 225/45x17 that it gets interesting |
